Becoming a Volunteer Caregiver

Becoming a volunteer caregiver requires each individual to complete 20 hours of training prior to supporting our clients and families. The training incorporates the knowledge of area pastors, grief counselors, hospice workers, caregivers who have utilized Tamarisk’s services and Tamarisk founder Gretchen Hanson. Below is an outline of the process involved in becoming a volunteer caregiver.
